In her last life, she had experienced the public forcing her out of the entertainment industry. Gossip was cruel for ordinary people, let alone an actress in the public eye.

“What happened?” Yi Ling asked. “Isn’t it time to go back home?”

“Not yet.” Yan Huan smiled reassuringly at her. “The director told me my part isn’t yet done. You go first.”

“But…” Yi Ling didn’t understand, “All your parts are finished, right?” Yi Ling knew the director had approved of all the previous scenes, she had asked before and been told that there was nothing the two of them still needed to do. Less important people could leave first, so why were they still there? Watching others’ parts? It seemed that Yan Huan disliked such things now. Even more, what was going to be shot was simple scenes without any plot. It made no sense to watch them.

“One scene was not good enough, I need to re do it. Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll go back soon,” Yan Huan comforted Yi Ling. She took out her mobile phone, which she had been using for several years now, and checked the time. “It’s already getting late. If you stay here much longer, there will be no fresh vegetables at the market for us to buy. Yiyi, what about you go do the shopping first and I’ll cook braised pork for you?”

2“OK.” Yi Ling’s eyes brightened when she heard they would have pork for dinner. Delicious food, braised pork, I have delicious pork tonight, very delicious pork, she thought, delighted.

She shouldered her bag, humming a song and planing what kind of vegetables and meat she could buy later. They had been well-paid recently, so could have meat at every meal.

Yan Huan was relieved to see Yi Ling leave. She changed costume again. It was a simple white costume, which made her look like a fairy. But she instead felt like a ghost.

Because she was just a body double she wore no makeup. Because her hair hung down loosely, nobody knew what she looked like. The saddest part was that audience only noticed how beautiful and elegant the heroine and the hero were, but they didn’t know how much effort the stunt doubles and extras put in, how much pain they bore, and all their responsibilities.

She stepped into the artificial lake. Just for a moment, she trembled.

It was cold, extremely cold.

But she grit her teeth and submerged herself into the water. The freezing cold made her whole body quiver involuntarily.

It took some effort for her to complete the scene, but she received 200 yuan for it. She thought many people would gladly jump into a lake for 200 yuan. It didn’t matter they would be soaked in water.

After changing clothes, she wiped her wet hair with a towel, and covered her abdomen with her hand at the same time. It was so painful it felt like being stabbed with a knife. It was difficult to bear but she bit her white lips and didn’t make a sound.

When her hair was a little drier, she left the set. And for a while, she felt her lower abdomen ache even worse. She searched her pocket for the pill bottle she had brought this morning but didn’t find it. She searched her bag without finding it, either. Then she remembered that she had put it into Yi Ling’s bag.
